Nala and Damayanti (Sanskrit title: नलोपाख्यान Nalopākhyāna, i.e. "Episode of Nala") is an episode from the Indian epic Mahabharata. It is about King Nala (नल Nala) and his wife Damayanti (दमयन्ती Damayantī): Nala loses his kingdom in a game of dice and has to go into exile with his faithful wife Damayanti in the forest, where he leaves her. Separated from each other, the two have many adventures before they are finally reunited and Nala regains his kingdom.
Nala and Damayanti is one of the best known and most popular episodes of the Mahabharata. It has found a wide reception in India and is also regarded in the West as one of the most valuable works of Indian literature.
